Hadjar revels in old-school car and fan adoration
LE CASTELLET: For rising Formula One star Isack Hadjar Saturday’s “historic” race at the Paul Ricard Circuit offered a double treat: a chance to bask in the love of French fans and to drive a traditional ‘noisy’ Formula One car. The 21-year-old Parisian has aligned himself with the anti camp this season as the Formula One paddock grumbles about new hybrid engines that use 50 percent petrol and 50 percent electric power. On Saturday, Hadjar drove a 2011 Formula One car with an internal combustion engine at this nostalgic and popular event at a historic circuit in the south of France. The day featured drivers of all ages, primarily French, including Alain Prost, who is 71, and Jacques Laffite, 82, as well as current drivers Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon. Hadjer told AFP that he was hopeful after the sport’s governing body, the FIA, on Friday made further concessions to restore internal combustion as the dominant source of powere in F1 cars by next season. “It’s a step in the right direction because nobody likes what we started with,” he said. Hadjar called for “solutions to improve the problem, not make it worse.” He has been siding with Max Verstappen, who threatened to leave F1 and compared this season’s cars to “Formula E (electric) on steroids,” and to the video game Mario Kart. Not all drivers agree. Seven-time British world champion Lewis Hamilton said he was having a lot of fun. Hadjer said he likes driving as fast as possible in a straight line before hitting the brakes for corners. “That’s my vision of driving,” he said.

Kimi Antonelli wins the Miami Grand Prix for his third straight F1 victory
MIAMI GARDENS: Kimi Antonelli won the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday for his third consecutive Formula 1 victory as the 19-year-old Mercedes drivers continued to show he’s a legitimate championship contender. Antonelli started from the pole but had a slick start on a damp surface at the Miami International Autodrome. Threats of heavy rain led F1 to move up the start of the race by three hours, and there was an early morning heavy thunderstorm with lightning strikes directly over the Hard Rock Stadium, but it had cleared by the time the event began. Still, the first 25 laps were attacked by the drivers as if the rain could return at any moment, and it led to early chaos, even for Antonelli. Charles Leclerc of Ferrari had a spectacular start from third and surged to the lead when Antonelli went wide off course trying to defend.
